Jewelry of India knows no bounds in its offerings to the modern world. This is because India is amongst the most innovative and diligent countries. The dedicated designers are experts in making jewelry whether it is simple jewelry or highly delicate ones with intricate designs. One of the most highly regarded Indian jewelry nowadays is kundan jewelry.

To begin with “kundan jewelry” is made of gold, which is highly refined and is aptly called kundan in India. For Indian jewelers, kundan is not only gold that is converted into a jewel but is also a type of setting on which they set precious stones. Adding further information kundan jewelry is that which is not only made of solid gold. Its center part is made of lac or natural resin.

Many people aptly consider kundan jewelry to be one of the old types of jewelry in India because the style on which it was made was earlier used and is not the same till date. In furtherance to this, kundan jewelry has many precious stones embedded on it. At present a wide variety of kundan jewelry is available in the market and it can be bought online. The spectacularly designed kundan jewelry is indeed a delight to the eyes. The common are those that have uncut diamonds and other precious stones set in gold. The commonly used gems in kundan jewelry are emeralds, rubies and sapphires.

To a very large extent purchasing kundan jewelry has today become attainable for people who fall under high-income groups. While in ancient times kundan jewelry was a possession of the kings and the queens.

It is worth mentioning that kundan jewelry requires immense attention since it involves extensive work and intricate designs. Some of the precautions include keeping kundan jewelry away from perfume, body spray or any other chemicals. Also, this type of jewelry should be kept away from water since water blackens the stone and diamonds. Thirdly, kundan jewelry should be stored on a level surface in a box. It should not entangle otherwise it might break.

The battlefield is the venue of the wedding and the contenders are the invitees. Each dressed in their best to prove their supremacy. In this ambience, for the bride to appear as ‘the one’ is indeed a very difficult task. Hence, she needs a careful strategic planning for the D-day.

The day which she has waited forever has come. From the fabric that goes into the exquisite ensemble for her perfectly worked out body to each jewel complementing her delicate collarbone, her hairstyle and her makeup, everything must be the finest. We offer you few guidelines for all occasions that can help you make your dreams come true.

The Pooja:

The look should be “Simple”. Long flowing frock suits or Anarkali Suits in rich materials like pure crepes and georgettes, or patialas worn with short kurtas would be perfect. These outfits will be more comfortable to sit cross-legged, apart from giving a lot of body to the garment. Whatever be the outfit, heavy embroidered odhnis with them are the must haves for the bride-to-be as she has to cover her head during the Pooja.

        The hues should be one of the ‘ultra bright’ like vermilions, fuchsias and burnt oranges. These colors suit almost everybody if accessorized well and with the right makeup. Soft warm pinks and peaches-depending upon the skin tone off the ‘bride-to-be’ would show off the radiance and keep the look simple. Hair left open or loosely tied are the best. The jewellery worn must be more yellow gold, as it is considered auspicious. Evergreen stones like rubies, emeralds and diamonds would be a more proper choice. Let the jewellery be minimal and delicate, with flashy earrings and bangles. Foot wear should be low-heeled.

            The Groom should opt for minimally embroidered or a pin-tucked kurta worn with open sandals. Shades like ivory and earthy ones will look nice especially when the bride is in bright shades. A kum kum tilak on the forehead completes the picture.

The Sagan/Engagement:

For this traditional occasion, keep your look a bit conventional. A fish kali lehenga is one such ‘ultra-feminine’ ensemble. It should be worn with stylized choli and structured dupattas. The other reigning attire this season is intricately embroidered suits. These are basically with long kameez and churidars. The highlight is the different type of embroidery which will cover the fabric completely or densely embroidered. As far as the colors are concerned, it is for you to decide which two parallel stories will run simultaneously. Pick colors from the ultra-bright family. Fresh colors like leaf green, Indian pinks, chromes and saffrons. The color story should be taken further to the makeup as well which should bring lot of color to your face. It is necessary to understand that makeup depends on the person.

                   Create your own unique combination and leave him guessing. Your hair needs to contribute in creating an aura of sensitive femininity. Avoid severe styles for this function at least. The look should make the person come alive and bring out the best aspects of your personality.

For our groom-to-be Chikan kurtas with sequins in deeper tones coordinated with mojris are a nice option.

The Cocktail:

The mood is FUN so has the attire got to be. Be unusual, be daring and go for fusion styles. The season’s tone is deep shades: Montana, a shade which echoes all the blues and greens of a peacock’s plumage, or a somber coca-cola, again reflecting a million browns in its depth or all brighter tones like neon yellows and saffrons.

The silhouette needs to be carefully chosen, it needs to allow enough freedom of movement so as to enable easy dancing. Clothing with a western element goes well with Italian jewellery. Rubies with ivory, emeralds with fuchsia, pearls with coke, tanzanite with black and so on. The makeup should add a touch of mystery to your face. After all, we need to make the other ‘million’ hearts realize their loss! Your footwear must be comfortable and coordinated since it is going to be much more visible compared to other functions.

       The metrosexual man of today needs to look stylish debonair. Being one of the bigger functions where you dress yourself in a western look, the opportunity must be exploited to the maximum. Classic suits with boring colors with striking ties are in.

The Wedding:

The time has come to transform your dreams into reality. You want to be royal, magnificent in the grandeur that only something traditional can provide. A properly styled circular or umbrella lehenga, a well-boned choli that fit you like a glove to accentuate your vital statistics combined with a heavy odhni with a broad matha patti.   

             Every community has its own kind of likings for jewellery. Marwaris love jadau while Gujratis prefer rose-cut diamonds. Punjabis, Sindhis and South Indians go for gold and diamonds, Maharashtrians choose only gold and Christians like delicate diamond jewellery.

Tip for jewellery: Long earrings and necklaces add height whereas huslis or close to neck necklaces cut height.

Hairstyles are restricted to styles which give you height and help balance the heavy embroidered dupatta covering your hair. Your footwear should be easy to slip on and off to avoid any struggle before sitting for the pheras and your look for the evening is complete.    

             A beige or fawn sherwani exquisitely embroidered with the saffa and pagdi. The saffa and pagdi must be color coordinated with your outfit. If at all any jewellery is required, a kundun brooch in the centre of the pagdi adds the nice touch.
